Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I've seen this product all over Instagram in the recent months and have wanted to try it so badly. I found that even with a full face of make up including waterproof mascara and brow products (which normally doesn't come off with make up wipes or standard make up remover) came off straight away without any rubbing! My skin also felt really moisturised afterwards as well. I even got my sister and friend to try it and both of them were amazing at our good it is and have just purchased some bottles themselves! Definite 10/10

I have mixed feelings about this product - I was expecting quite a bit from it, especially as a makeup remover. Overall I was a bit disappointed - I find it didn't work that great on eye makeup (mascara and eyeliner in particular). The first time I used it, it still felt like I was wearing lots. I also used it on my face to remove tinted bb cream/foundation - but when I wiped my face afterwards with a wet cloth - I still had makeup come off on it. The bottle also says you shouldn't need to wipe your face afterwards - but I felt that my skin felt a little sticky.

I next few times I used it I used a bit more product - and rubbed my face a bit more until I felt like I got it all off.

One thing I did like about it is that even though I have quite sensitive skin, especially with ezcema around my eyes, it doesn't irritate it.

Update: I've been using this for a few months now and have grown to like it! (and only just needed to repurchase!). I still cleanse a second time afterwards, because I find that it doesn't get all of my makeup off the first time - but it does leave my face/neck feeling super clean!

Well the first thing that I noticed was the price. I use Johnsons cleansing wipes at $10 per 20 in a packet. The garner water at $12.99rrp says has 200 uses per bottle. So right away it had my attention, I mean what woman doesn't like saving money, however I have tried many wipes and makeup removers that were completely useless so I used it with pessimism. What do you know it works just as well I'd not better than my fav wipes!! Yay. It has the feel of pure filtered water and is amazing at removing makeup. I also used it to clean my face and was surprised at the dirt it wiped off. Bravo garner, bravo, you have gained a new customer. Go to it girls, it's fantastic and sooo cheap....winner hands down

I'm the kind of person that's super obsessed with skincare. I never miss taking my make up off in the evening. I've tried many types of make up removal products from oils to balms and make up remover wipes. I've heard of micellar water before but never had the opportunity to try it til now.

First of all the packaging is very straight forward, as with any other Garnier products. The lid dispenses enough product, not too much and too little which I really appreciate.

It looks like water and doesn't smell much like anything. There are very few ingredients and it's unscented which makes me think this will be fine on sensitive skin. I have dry cheeks, an oily t-zone and sometimes, my skin reacts to certain products but this was fine. It didn't irritate my skin whatsoever.

Unlike with makeup remover wipes, there is no need to scrub your skin to get foundation off. I was very impressed by how fast it took everything off, it was basically effortless and I was wearing heavy duty full coverage foundation when I first tried this.

I was expecting this to dry out my skin but it hasn't at all. In fact, my skin didn't feel as "thirsty" as it would if I had used a different cleanser.

I do think that the 200 use claim is only true if you use larger and good quality cotton pads. I also find that the "no rub" claim wasn't necessarily true for things like waterproof mascara and eyeliner. It does take it off much easier than a make up remover wipe though. All you have to do is drench a cotton pad, leave it on your eye for a few seconds and it does the job.

Overall, I'm very impressed with this product. I'm so glad Garnier has come out with a micellar cleanser water that is inexpensive and easily accessed by many people. I highly recommend this and I will definitely purchase more when I run out.

I would first like to thank BR for letting me review this product. I had seen a lot of people talking about this product like you tube guru's etc they seemed to love it and i was itching to try it! i must say Australia got it a long time before us! i am so happy we can finally buy it in stores here!! I got a information booklet with the micellar cleansing water which i found really helpful , it answered all my questions that i had about the product. On the back of the bottle it says to use a cotton pad soaked in garnier micellar cleansing water so the first time using it i did just that in the morning, my skin felt cleansed and refreshed it didn't leave my skin feeling oily and didn't need to be washed off. That night it was time to take off my full face of make up , i again applied about a 50 cent coin sized amount on the cotton pad but by the time i was done taking all my makeup off i must have used at least six cotton pads, it took everything off and was easy to apply. It doesn't really have a strong smell like other garnier products i have tried. Over the last week or so i have found that the best way to use this product has been to use a make up wipe all over my face first then once i have done that get the eye make up off with the cleansing water and i find that way im only using around 2-3 cotton pads. If i was to keep using six cotton pads a night the cleansing water would not last me any where near 200 uses but if i use around 2-3 cotton pads a day i feel like i could get quite close to 200 uses. For the amount of product you get it's well worth your money! I love the packaging very simple and girly, tells you everything you need to know, it doesn't have a pump but the hole it comes out of is a lot smaller than the normal so it comes out slower which is better so it doesn't go every where. I will be buying this after i have finished the bottle and would recommend it to every one. 10/10 from me!!!

The bottle can be a bit unwieldy, given its size, but I think it's great value! I like how fuss-free it is- not having to wash your cleanser off is super convenient in the mornings. Not having to use toner after is also a bonus. Applying it with a cotton pad means it's pretty impossible to get in your eye too (pitfall of the cleansing bar I would use on and off again.) It's not just the concept I love though - it works really well on my normal to dry skin. The cleansing water doesn't make my skin feel too tight, though I definitely wouldn't skip moisturising after. I had the misfortune of developing a pimple before receiving this product, but the cleansing water was very effective on it. The dastardly pimple quickly reduced in size and was gone within a few days! I'll definitely keep using this. I don't wear make up so can't comment on how effective it is as a make up remover.

The Micellar Cleansing water, is such a convenient product because it removes make up, cleanses and soothes skin without rinsing. It would make a perfect product for those who want to save time. It comes in a large bottle which provides great value. The packaging is simple and fresh which fits the product well. Overall I found this product to be well rounded and worked really well for my skin, and I would highly recommend it to my friends and family.

A great product at a price everyone can afford,so hassle free and really does what it says however for me it was still a little harsh on my skin,but then I have really sensitive skin,I think it would suit most other skin types ,just not mine .It felt very refreshing on my face,and certainly took my make up off very easily .i would recommend to others as a worthwhile product .

Love it!! Did what it said it would do, felt refreshing and loved how easily it washed the days "face" away. Also how it was refreshing and awakening it was in the morning. Yet nice and gentle on the delicate eye area. This is such a great simple product and will be a new addition to my beauty items.
